• Reposition the lifting device and
repeat the procedure for the rear
wheel.
• Remove the support and place the
motorcycle on the side stand.
Note
If the wheel bearings in the front or
rear wheel allow play in the wheel hub,
are noisy, or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have your authorized Triumph
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.
Front Suspension
Warning
Make sure that the adjusters are set
to the same setting on both front
suspension units.
Settings that vary from left to right
may affect handling and stability
resulting in loss of motorcycle control
and an accident.
Warning
Make sure that the correct balance
between front and rear suspension is
maintained.
Suspension imbalance could
significantly change handling
characteristics leading to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Refer to the tables for further
information or consult your authorized
Triumph dealer.
The Standard suspension setting
provides a comfortable ride and good
handling characteristics for general,
solo riding. The following tables show
suggested settings for the front
suspension.
